Being one of those people, I empathize and now present you with the best, […]

Pitchers and catchers will report within a few weeks and shortly after that the Spring season will begin, but for those planning on actually participating in the festivities, a little preparation is necessary. Already this off-season I’ve discussed things to do around the city when games are not on, but now it is time to […]

As we prepare for the start of the new season, teams across the country are looking to assemble their squads ready to handle the pressures of a full MLB campaign.

The regular season has come to a close, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be taking a break here at BurningRiverBaseball.com, although things will change a little. We will still bring you analysis of everything of importance to the Indians including possible signings, trades, roster moves, the rule five draft and anything else that could come […]

After a busy trade deadline for the Indians front office, the players on the field look to improve on their sub .500 record after the deadline. To do so, they will have to compete with two of the most storied franchises in Major League Baseball: A four-game, home and home series with the Cincinnati Reds […]

The creator of BrOhio, Nick Swisher was the biggest free agent signing in total money in Cleveland Indians history. While he has taken a lot of negativity, his attitude has never changed as he remains the ultimate bro. In honor of this unrelenting positiveness, Burning River Baseball (or Broning River Baseball for the day), will […]

In the latest of a long line of “traditions” threatened by political correctness, a group of Native Americans lead by the American Indian Education Center is planning on suing the Cleveland Indians for $9 Billion, based on over a century of “disparity, racism, exploitation and profiteering.” This comes just after the Washington Redskins had their […]

Even though it is still just Spring Training, it is time to look ahead to the regular season to see what is coming up. While every year involves 162 games with 81 at home and 81 on the road (except in 2007), there are always considerable differences in the year to year schedule. This season […]

Tired of the cold yet, Clevelanders? The Browns have you down? Tired of seeing the Cavs on the outside of the play-off picture despite the fact that more than half of the teams in the league make it? Or that there is a team named the Heat that is poised for another championship run, doubly […]
